This year the Great Debate will be in support of the not-for-profit, BlackDog Institute.  Black Dog Institute is Australia’s only medical research institute for investigating mental health across the lifespan. Its purpose is to ensure that important research findings are rapidly translated into improved mental health policy both locally and nationally.  It does this through ‘translational’ research - integrating its research studies, education programs, digital tools and apps, clinical services, and public resources to discover new solutions, foster connections and create real-world change.
